More Information on this Ornament

The Back Story More: Originally intended as specialty game for the 1913 Christmas edition of the New York World, this well loved puzzle was initially known as “Word-Cross.”  After its debut, so many readers wrote in to praise the puzzle that the World decided to make it a permanent feature of the puzzle page.  How did it come to be known as Crossword, rather than Word-Cross?  One month after the initial puzzle appeared, typesetters at the newspaper mistakenly transposed the words in the title to read “Cross-Word.”  The new name stuck, and so did the puzzle! At a recent gift show, a librarian came in looking for a gift for her 34 library volunteers. The Crossword Puzzle Ornament was just what she was looking for.
